⚡The Bolivarian Navy of Venezuela has begun escorting ships carrying petroleum products leaving the country, following the recent seizure of a sanctioned oil tanker in the Southern Caribbean by the United States and threats of a “blockade” by President Trump, with several ships - transporting urea, petroleum coke and other oil-based products - departing the Port of José bound for Asia between Tuesday evening and Wednesday, receiving a naval escort by warships of the Venezuelan Navy, three people familiar with the matter told the New York Times.

⚡Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responds to Trump’s Venezuela threats:

“Beyond any opinion about the Venezuelan regime or Maduro’s presidency. Mexico’s position must always be: no to intervention, no to foreign interference, peaceful resolution of conflicts, and dialogue for peace.”

She called on the United Nations to finally step up and prevent bloodshed, not sit idle as war rhetoric escalates.

Some may have celebrated. But many more condemned it..and used the opportunity to also condemn gun violence in the US..something the supposed right cant open their mouths to condemn.

I have not seen in my life where folks cant condemn what is actually killing them. Its sickening.
America has a gun couture. Around 45-50% of homes have a firearm. Per 100 people there are 120 guns. Many Americans will have more than 5 guns in a home. Some 1% are gun collectors.

Number 2 is Serbia. 39.1 guns per 100 residents.
Montenegro has at least 26% of homes owning firearms.

The vast majority of Americans are responsible owners . They will never give up their guns . If taking away their guns will result in no gun deaths because of a few mass shooters, then it can be argued that deporting Muslims will eliminate terrorism.
Some posters here based in America do own guns and they are responsible citizens .

Let’s make sure that the magnitude of this announcement doesn’t get lost in politics. The fact that our governor is ensuring that Californians and other states involved in this coalition get sound medical advice, based upon science and data gathered over years is huge. Having this team of outstanding professionals supporting doctors, parents, educators is incredibly valuable. Thank you Governor Newsom.

He’s so pathetic and embarrassing. I think if I ever personally knew this kind of human being in my real life circle, I would do everything in my power to undo that history. No one will ever know that I even once associated with such a petty petulant nincompoop.

To knowingly support him? I can’t even fathom. People astound me!

Please stop broadcasting your ignorance about a country you claim you're a citizen of.Protests mean very different things in different countries.

In Nigeria, they rarely lead to lasting change, so many see them as high-risk with little reward.

In South Africa, it’s different. Protests, even when loud or disruptive, often lead to talks, policy changes, or legal action. They’re not chaos....they’re part of how our democracy works.
Why? Strong institutions
Powerful labor unions
Active student movements
Civic organizations that hold power accountable.

A legal system that allows court challenges after protests.Protests keep leaders on their toes. When governance fails, we mobilize quickly and demand action. That’s why delivering results isn’t just good politics....it’s survival.

Our histories shape how we see activism. What some call desperation, we call political participation that gets results.Protest here isn’t a threat....it’s how we make the system work.

2. Firstly, let me clarify something: Boers do not own 70% of South Africa’s landmass; that figure refers specifically to commercial agricultural land. This is a colonial residue, much like our old infrastructure and economic framework. Such systems are not undone impulsively; they are phased out deliberately and responsibly to avoid economic collapse.

Most of South Africa’s land remains under traditional authorities and is untitled, which is precisely why land reform was not the most urgent priority compared to housing, services, and economic transformation.

The land question has returned to the spotlight largely because of high urban unemployment and the recognition of agriculture as a potential large-scale employer. In addition, South Africa now has access to diversified global markets, including Asia, rather than being overwhelmingly dependent on European markets that historically had little incentive to support meaningful land reform.

Reform must therefore be strategic, economically sound, and sovereign. We are under no obligation to rush complex structural changes or to accept pressure framed as ‘African solidarity’ when it risks economic self-harm. We are not Zimbos. We don't seek to be validated by envious Pan-Africanists as " non cowards " and "lovers of blackness ". We accept that we were thrown into the deep end and we have so many structural reforms inherited from apartheid that we have to overcome. But we will never self-harm to please the continent that secretly and openly coverts our position. Or self-harm to spite white SA when we will end up being the biggest losers at the end because we have no Europe* to pick us up when we are down like they have. Just like Black Americans we are on our own in cases like this because our own cousins occupy even weaker positions than we on the global hierarchy of political and economic relevance unlike the white people in our respective countries who have a much more successful continental home to back them. Both whites are an extension of that and we are an extention of the weak positions of Africa. But that is too deep for a feeble mind like yours to comprehend .
So your love for violence what you people call protest is what you claim is democracy and making things work grin. What have your violent protests achieved if not destroying the white man infrastructure in your country . What you people are good at is violence and entitlement to government because you can't do anything by yourselves like us. You destroyed Universities because you wanted free education unlike the foreigners who are happy to pay and develop South Africa.

You are now involving Africa in your weaknesses because I exposed that you black South Africans are weak and unambitious people . Other Africans own their land resources ,we are not slaves . We are not controlled by the white man in our countries because we chased them out of our countries. So now you admit that your white masters are from Europe they are no-longer South African now ?? I thought your white masters were blameless part of your DNA,what happened to that ?? So you want white people to keep your father's property for an economy? Wonders shall never end . You don't see why we promote Pan-Africanism to you people is for trade ? But you choose Europe foolishly and now want to complain.

You and your black American friends are the most confused black people Alive. One day you are proud blacks tomorrow you are white people in black skin. Embarrassing grin

😂🔥 TRUMP PULLS THE ULTIMATE MEDIA HEAD FAKE — AND THEY FELL FOR IT

President Trump just executed the mother of all trolls — and the media walked straight into it.

Using Tucker Carlson, knowingly or unknowingly, to float the idea that a war with Venezuela was imminent, Trump sent every major network into full panic mode.

What happened next?

They cleared prime-time coverage.
They went wall-to-wall.
They tuned in tens of millions of Americans.

And instead of war?

Trump delivered a full recap of his first-year accomplishments, calmly, confidently — in front of Christmas decorations no less. 🎄😂

Absolute chess.

He also told Americans something the media hates admitting:
👉 Illegal aliens were draining THEIR hard-earned tax dollars

No spin. No apology. Just facts.

The result?
• The media did his distribution for him
• His message reached everyone
• And the panic narrative collapsed in real time

Love him or hate him, one thing is undeniable:

Trump is the undisputed king of political trolling — and arguably the most effective media manipulator to ever sit in the Oval Office.

They never see it coming.
And they never learn.

---FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino says that he plans to leave the job next month in January---
Too bad . Not a single prosecution by Pam Bondi over Spygate ,2020 etc
Or maybe he found that FBI is irredeemably corrupt and partisan.

#news Fast Fact: Biden's FBI hid data showing armed civilians stopped almost 50% of all criminal shooters in 2024 - recording 0% instead, according to a research group
#FBI
A prominent research group has revealed that the Biden FBI systematically underreported the role legal gun owners had in stopping active shooters between 2021 and 2024, saying the bureau hid the data for political reasons.

The Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC), released an analysis showing massive 'errors' in FBI active shooter reports from 2021 to 2024.
#guns
The report highlights a large discrepancy for 2024 specifically, showing that armed citizens stopped nearly half of all qualifying incidents while the FBI credited them with stopping none.

By the numbers:

2021
Biden FBI: armed citizens credited with stopping about 4-5%
CPRC: Armed citizens stopped at least 49.1% of incidents

2022
Biden FBI: armed citizens credited with stopping 3 total
CPRC: Armed citizens stopped at least 41.3% of incidents

2023
Biden FBI: armed citizens credited with stopping 0%
CPRC: Armed citizens stopped about 30-35%

2024
Biden FBI: armed citizens credited with stopping 0%
CPRC: Armed citizens stopped 47.8%-62.5% of incidents (higher figure when excluding gun-free zones)


Can't reform such a body.

The myth that other Africans are more "hardworking" is self-flattery at best.. Look at your countries, nothing screams "hard work" ..
Stop hiding behind the white man work you lazy people. You have no single work in what South Africa is. The African Union should just shut you people up by returning apartheid or getting rid of you from African countries. You people are mentally colonized. You are not true Africans in any sense

Insecurity isn’t enforcing borders. That’s called running a country.

South Africans aren’t ‘threatened’ by hard work....we built institutions, industries, and a constitutional state under conditions you clearly don’t understand. What we reject is unmanaged mass migration from poorer states that adds labour supply without adding equivalent demand, overwhelms public services, and shifts the costs of other governments’ failures onto our working class.

Apartheid didn’t make us weak.....it made us very clear about what happens when people are denied ownership, accountability, and control over their own country. That’s exactly why we won’t repeat the mistake by outsourcing responsibility for nation-building.

Hard work doesn’t cancel immigration law. Resilience doesn’t entitle anyone to another country’s housing, hospitals, or jobs. If Nigeria is so full of opportunity and resilience, build it there.....like every serious nation expects its citizens to do.

This isn’t envy. It’s economics, governance, and sovereignty. Adult countries understand that kiss
Yes, apartheid did make you weak. Why are you crying about everything from colonialism and African migration if you are not finished people.

You are insecure if you want to close off from competition from other more adventurous Africans who export professionals more educated than you to your country. Weak people.

Funny this.

My sister, an accountant with like 20 years work experience in Nigeria, recently completed her masters in UK and got a job.

"Damn, they make you work for every penny here", she told me.

She'd arrive at work in Lagos at 7am, she said, because leaving for 8am when her office opened meant she wouldn't get there by ten. She'd do about an hours work, and by noon its break time, during which she'd go shopping at market and arrive back by 2 and potter around till 5 and be done and home by 7. Whereas, in UK she gets a 45 minutes break, and despite working from home three days, its work every single minute.

"How can we expect to develop as a nation working like we do back home when the competition here is draining every minute for the money they pay", she laments, glad she finally came over saying she's learnt more about work in a year in UK than she did in 20 years in Nigeria.

Hard working my toe, says I, but most wouldn't know of it unless they travel out of Nigeria.
Stop comparing your lazy sister to the rest of us. There is nowhere on this earth Nigerians haven't dominated because we can thrive under any situation. Your sister is lazy. What about the Nigerian doctors, care workers ,nurses and professionals in the same UK? 🗑

You are not serious. You mean the excuses ,lies an un-African tone 🙄. You must lack self esteem if you thought that diarrhea is something to take serous. But this is the problem when people don't travel past their states,if you did you'd know that black South Africans are the worst type of people to encounter. People who see no shame in rejecting what freed them . The same Africa unity and Pan Africanism that their fathers promoted when they were in chains . An embarrassing people to call Africans. They think their infrastructure and system makes them less black than other Africans. They think money makes them European or first world country .
